After installing fc3 Wednesday I wanted a second copy of FC3 cd's, so I
put a blank cd in my dvd/cdrom burner and launched k3b. Only one
problem, k3b didn't see a cdrom. I check the /media directory and no
cdrecorder. I was like ok let me reboot with option ide=nodma. This time
I had cdrecorder, but one of the errors I got from k3b was to check
permissions on /dev/hd#, my cdrom was on hdd, and it had rwxr_xr_x
on /dev/hdd I chmod 777 on hdd and k3b was happy again.
